Design and implementation of a software component repository as a support for the development of business software - case: Information Services at Universidad Industrial de Santander
Abstract
The component-based development model is a new paradigm of development that allows the implementation of systems quickly, starting of software components developed previously. The component’s repository is the main tool of this development model since it allows the administration, selection, identification and assembly of software components. In this paper the development model will be explained, as well as the design of a component’s repository to give support to the development process of business software. For this design all the functional and non-functional requirements having component´s repository and giving support to components-based development model will be taken into account. The deployment of this repository will be applied to Information Services Division of Universidad Industrial de Santander UIS in order to improve the development model implanted here, optimizing this development components model. This repository can decrease times of searching, selection, and identification of components. Besides, it shortens response times of attention to the maintenance requirements and the development that these generate. This is due to the fact that the delays decrease to the maximum by getting and identifying quickly the components that it would be verified or integrated in the requested systems. Also, it eliminates the development of repeated and not controlled components due to the lack of a tool that allows overlook and centralizes the components developed.
